Local listing management is an online marketing strategy that ensures all of your brick-and-mortar business locations are accurately listed on business directories like Google My Business, Facebook Places, Bing Places, Apple Maps, and more.
Having accurate data and business listings optimized for core keywords also impacts your business listing ranking on all of the major search engines, which are critical in helping consumers find your business location.
Your local business listing is at the foundation of your online presence. It provides potential customers with basic business data including address, phone number, business hours, and more. Successful local listing management solidifies such foundational data while finding opportunities for improved SEO performance – resulting in increases in brand visibility and in-store revenue.
Our approach to managed local business listings leverages a combination of proven tactics and tools to ensure your local data is accurate and your business locations are easily found by customers. Learn more about Location3’s strategic approach to local listing management below.
